A SLOVENLY CHILD: oh boy, that was a good meal, time to go outside and play, abandoning my dishes on the table and not washing my hands!

YOU (A GOOD CHILD): anything I've touched must be cleansed with fire lest it fall into the hands of my enemies, who can fashion a totem from any crumb that touched my lips and bend the universe against me through the connection I once had with it... I must move through this world without a trace

To start, my spoon/battery level is about today, so it’s coloring my perceptions.

It feels like the fediverse is getting more negative as time passes. And that’s fair. Things are... not great right now.

But I do wonder if despite the best intentions of good admins and features like CWs, that this is going to become another birdsite. Even with all the mod tools Mastodon gives us, are we really any better off if the timeline becomes a stream of subtoots and snark?

Every time I run a Numenera game and then follow that up with a D&D session, it makes it so clear how much more work the latter is for a GM. I enjoy both, but the cypher system is way easier to run. #rpg
